Hey everyone!! Just incase you didn’t know today the “I’m an odd shape” merch relaunched! This will be the last time this merch style is ever made, AND all my profits from the launch will be spread amongst many deserving charities. Which will be shared in a video in the new year! So make sure to go check it out 💕💕 fanjoy.co/collections/mia-maples
love mia.....i have watched you for years!!!
Idk if u like this idea or not but u know all the tiling u have for the floors but I think it would be such a cool and cute idea to put that in the sides of or insides of the desk it would make it so unique and fit ur style!!
Edit: or maybe even for a future project!
i love your videos
@@baileyferguson7470 me to
Mia love ✨chu✨so much 💕💕
“i hate looking like an idiot, but i do it so well” I FELT THAT SO HARD
haha...welcome to my world
how can i star this lmao
I need this as merch 😂
@Rachel....Omgawd!!! Me too....I'd have to have it in everything, a couple tee shirts a hoodie.....Lmao!! 😂😂😂
Same haha
mia is basically using her youtube channel as an excuse to live out her interior design and DIY furniture dreams Lol I'm so here for it
I agree!! I love it!!
That’s what UA-cam’s for!!
Yup
Absolutely good for her, why on earth not! 😂❤️ Awesome upcycle ♻️ such a cute and well done desk. Would love to see more of these!!!!
It’s made me inspired to get up cycling again..
Yes, true😄♥️
I NEED THIS TO BE A SERIES! that desk literally fits so perfectly where you had it. I think you should keep it since it has a cool personal backstory of being your first “free flip”!
Hi Mia! My mom and I refinish furniture all the time! Some tips for future projects- always sand with the grain (no circles) and a tiny can of stain is PLENTY for multiple projects and you can always darken up a stain with multiple coats 😃
" I hate looking like an idiot, but I do it so well" is such a mood!!!
Feeling like this could be New merch 😅
@@aggythi9051 YES
Looking good while being an idiot is the hard part! 😂
Oh yes hahaha but you know what else 'don't pity me '! Lol😂
PERIODT.
Thumbs up if you want to see this become a series! Show Mia how much we love this idea. 🥳❤
Girl yes!! I love seeing things be flipped lol
@@Yaquesitaa Me too! And she did such an AMAZING job! I would buy that desk.

@@choicethetaurus i like this not to bad
@@choicethetaurus your voice is cool
Mia is literally an inspiration, I saved up enough money to renovate my WHOLE room I didn’t buy anything new i got creative! I even renewed the DOORS! I also paainted over the walls because the color was fading into a ugly yellowish color! THANK YOU :)
You're attitude is so helpful to those of us who are scared to try . Even " mistakes " make it a new direction not a failure
The sandpaper the wrong way killed me 😂😂😂
Best part is “EP:1” so we know there’s gonna be more!! lol 🤪
Yes!! I’m so excited for this series!!!
Yes! 🙌
Cool
Mia- "I want to be cost effective, so I'll get a small can of stain."
Also Mia- *buys four different styles of knobs*
Was thinking that exact thought
i’m lowkey obsessed with your mom, she’s so sweet and pure 😭
"painting is so therapeutic" ...this is a diffrent Mia than Bob Ross mural Mia
“First of all. I wouldn’t know” literally sent me😂 it was a very hearty cackle
Currently watching that part right now and I literally died listening to that so I went straight to the comments🤣🤣🤣
I *wood*n’t know
@@Hibbity_Hobbity lmao nice oneee
That style of desk would be beautiful turned into a make-up vanity with a mirror added
I love how eager and willing your mom is to help you with your projects!
The person giving it away for free watching this: 👁👄👁
😂👏🏻
After this they were like 👁️👄👁️ can we have it back now we didn't actually want to give it away
@@sashimonique9850 🤣
the person has a renegan?
I was literally gonna comment this
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how much Mia has grown and expanded her youtube platform! I just love how you’re consistently trying new fun things to keep it interesting.
Waiting for HGTV to hire you for your new show called “Ballin on a budget”
Bruh when Mia put the sandpaper on backwards i could not stop quietly snickering to myself... LOL
When she put sand paper the wrong way i was waiting for her to realize lmao
Wishing Mia would end the price of the whole DIY at the end. Adding up all she spent on it so we have an idea of cost.
Please keep this series going!!
I do a lot diy, upcycling & makeover things and WITHOUT all the tools she used this in total was over 150€ or dollar. I used German prices but I don't think it's cheaper there. I added all the stuff she bought but doesn't used in the end. It's not cheap at all especially when you don't have this tools. But in the end you have an unique furniture. And when you do such projects often you have all the things at home.
I absolutely love how she kept the original wood instead of painting over it. Beautiful!
I love this! FB marketplace is everything! One detail you can add to modernize it and keep with the white. Where the detailing is on the wood of the three grooves you could tape off and paint white to make the drawers stand out more and create separation.
I try to explain to my friends what Mias channel is all about...like diy home projects, diy craft projects, challenges, try on hauls, makeup routines, prank videos... the list goes on LOL
but basically i watch her because of her down to self nature and is 110% authentic in what she does, whatever she does! She's like a ray of sunshine you didn't know you needed in your day.
You can tell she absolutely loves what she does, by far my favourite UA-camr!
She indeed, is a down to earth person.
I wish I knew of a similar channel!
Exactly how I feel!!
@@deeb8733 mark Ferris and Megan margot are both super down to earth genuine UA-camrs! I used to watch a lot but I'm down to mia and those ones because they are all the most genuine people I have come across.
İ love Miaaaa
@@gabriellapignataro3370 Thank you SO much Gabriella! I am off to check them out!!
The “hey everyone so today we are doing a very exciting video!” Makes my face light up with joy!!
Same here !! Lol. I love her sm.
@@lindseyingle8676 she radiates the BEST vibes
SAME! IT GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME!! 🥺❤️
sammeee!!
For my old drawers, I tend to rub the sides with a candlestick. The legs on that desk look 50s-60s I'd say, lovely piece!
I have a few tips as i refinish stuff all the time. To make the drawer slides, slide better get some cheap dollar store stick candles and rub them on the tracks also you'll want a sealer/finish for the wood itself to really give it that finished look I would go with a semi matte as glossy usually is too much or you could just use furniture wax. Few other things when sanding, painting and staining you want to go with the grain of the wood to better coat it. Hope this is useful! The finished product looked great
You know mama maples is pure when she says “it’s like pudding” instead of “it’s like poop”
Ya she is
I was like "Isn't it backwards?"
Mia: "OMG it's backwards."
Can we just appreciate how pretty this desk looks now !!!
This was such a cute flip, you should definitely start a series for this stuff. It was also so fun to watch. Keep up the great content!!
“Show people they can ball on a budget” that is such a good name for this of it becomes a series ‘bawling on a budget’
She already did a series called "Balling on a Budget" a few years back!
"Bawling" means crying though 😂
@@ishityle I mean balling, not bawling 😂
@@daniellekeyes304 make a comeback with it
@@ishityle oh wow ! You sure did school her 🙄
to tie in the turquoise, you should put turquoise patterned wallpaper inside the bottom of the drawers as a little accent to bring all the colors together. like this so she sees it please!
Hey Mia..I think painting the grooves on the bottom of the drawers white might make them look even better and bring attention to that detail. I love this white and wood combo 😁
Hey Mia! I loved this concept of this video. Another idea for this series could be to pick up free items for an entire bedroom set and be able to use the products you purchase across multiple items to be able to get more for your money. The desk looks awesome, love the knobs!
"it's the 3rd day it's taking a lot longer than I expected"... I've been working on sanding and staining 2 chairs since March lmao
get chalk paint u dont need to donany sanding
it’s okay it’s been taking me almost a year to finish painting my room.
@@autumnsmith7304 I just want them to be a dark wood color, I have 1 done completely so no going back on the 2nd one lol just need to get motivated
Got a tip for you Mia! When you have wood on wood drawers with no runners, just rub a little solid hand soap where the wood rubs together and they'll run smoothly 🙂 Love the desk!
You did a beautiful job, Mia! The drawer pulls really made the finished product look so elevated. It looks great with the pink chair and against the natural wood feature wall.
These are seriously my favorite UA-cam videos, out of them all! So definitely keep on doing them! I love the instruction you give and the details you notice!
The “natural” that you chose the first time is actually no color. It is the color of the wood. Also sand with the grain of the wood; any sanding across the grain will stand out once it’s stained.
The desk turned out soooooo good!!!!
Also I was cracking up when you started to sand with the sand paper on backwards! I was like “I’m definitely no expert seeing as I have never used a sander but I don’t think that’s how it goes!” 😂😂
One tip about staining that I just learned! You mentioned after staining the top that you could see so much grain, to the point that it seemed like you didn't love how varied the finish was. If you use wood conditioner (a clear product that you wipe on right before staining) it fills some of the grain and produces a really smooth finish. Basically it helps the stain absorb more evenly across the wood so that it doesn't look so antiqued and rustic.
I learned this while staining wood trim this week. Wood grain is beautiful but sometimes when stained a darker color the variance can almost be distracting and sometimes it isn't the look you want. The wood conditioner can usually be found with the stain in the hardware store. It is cheap and I can't believe what a difference it makes! You should try it just to see how it works so that you can get the finish you hope for in future videos!
Omg that desk looks gorgeous I just love how it turned out
Block of wax, rub on the edges of wood that slide in drawer will go smooth!
or bar soap!
Never heard that before
Definitely. I just used a block of ski wax. Worked really well.
You got any hacks for a standard squeaky door??
@@plainbagell clean and oil the hinges, the sound is from the metal rubbing against itself or dirt/dust.
The way her being so confident about it convinced me that the sanding paper was placed the right way😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Anyone else just looking at mama maples’ art work half the time?( btw mama and mia both of them are beutiful❤️)
Literally just picked up a table and chairs to do the same! Love this.
“Miaaaaaaa” the way your mom says that is adorable! Wow you put in so much work!
helpful hint! using stain stripper first (outside) really helps and when sanding always start with the lowest number when youre sanding off stain or paint then go higher until you reach the texture youre looking for
Mia, that desk absolutely belongs right where it is! LOVE the two tone!!! New subscriber ❤️❤️❤️
"Hey everyone today we are doing a very exciting video, in this video we are going to...." LIVES IN MY HEAD RENT FREE AND IM NOT EVEN MAD ABOUT IT. Thank you for bringing us all joy during these hard times!!!
*MIA:* I hate looking like an idiot
*ALSO MIA:* I'm not going to edit this out, this way everyone can see me being an idiot
😂😂😂
Love you, Mia! 💕
No one:
Literally no one:
Mamma Maples: It looks like pudding!
The refinished desk came out great! Love the knobs you used with the pop of color.
Less than a 0% chance I will attempt this. But will I watch every episode contently & happily? Yes, I will.
Note for next time:
When painting wood, go in the direction the grain is going, gives a much smoother and even look
Yeah! And it's the same with sanding too!
I know! Mia is great, but I was cringing so hard when she was sanding and painting against the grain!
Definitely sand in the direction of wood grain.. do not sand in circles..
This is how many times Mia second guessed her self 😂
👇🏼
It obviously paid off!
so I just saw the merch and I noticed that this BEAUTIFUL desk is in the background of the merch pictures :) I love it, waiting for more episodes of this inspiring series!!
I would love🔆 to see a “I organized my storage room/shed” video. I’m pretty sure it would look like a store🛍, complete with departments like 🎨 paint pillows and crafting 🌈 ps I really love the leather pull knobs. (But I do hope the’re vegan lol) 🐮
Me too. She should do interior design. We Stan a talented queen
Thankfully, she said the knobs were fake leather.
the first stain you chose looks like me after a tan, orange and disappointed.
@Casey G....ummm, yep!! 😳😁😂
IM HOWLING THIS COMMENT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD CICISBSBAIS
lol
Hi Mia, I am loving your makeover shows. This one made me a little nostalgic....the desk is from the late 60's, early 70's. Mine was white, it is where I did all my homework.
Actually it was part of my bedroom furniture. It had a headboard, footboard and a dresser with a large mirror.
Thank you for the memories.
I absolutely LOVE how the whole family is involved and how you make mistakes!!
“I’ll put them in my hoarding cupboard just in case” 😂😂
Mia, there is now way this series won’t be loved and adored. I LOVE IT ALREADY and it has been 2 minutes, nothing much actually happened but the intro !! 💕
Love it! Would love to see the chair makeover. I got some chairs and stools from my grandparents that I want to reupholster.. and I'd like to get inspired by you! 😊
I really love the way the desk turned out. It's gorgeous.
Loved it!!!!!! I think it would be cool to include the price it cost to makeover the items just to give an estimate for others that might want to do the same!😁💚
To avoid over sanding next time, I highly recommend just starting with the stripper if you ever want to refinish wood! Stain soaks in and finish makes it almost impossible to not over sand
My favorite thing about the end result is the singular leg holding up the base because I think it looks fantastic.
I also like the color contrast!
Looks Amazing!!!
I just wish the third color on the knobs was white instead of the mismatched wood. They'd really pop and tie in the color
Love this! If you do this as a series I would love to know the overall price of all the paint and stuff you bought to see the money you've saved from getting a second hand thing xx
“First of all, I wouldn’t know” 🤣🤣
I love it! it's almost like a rustic vibe, but im totaly here for it.
You did an excellent job. I like that you didn't have a clear way to go, but changed your mind here and there and ended up with something any of us would buy! 💕💕
A great idea would be to take photos of this renovated desk and send it to the first owner and see their reaction :D
Sand with the grain of the wood and also look into painting with chalk paint. You don’t have to sand prior to using chalk paint. It saves a lot of time and effort and looks great. Look forward to this series.
Mia, whatever you do, it's always good!! The same with whatever you are wearing!!! That is because you are beautiful on the in-&outside, like the rest of your family!!!!!
So do not think bad about yourselve sweetie, you deserve al good things. All your viewers/followers love you so much!!! Big hugs, Pinkie
LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!!! The stain is gorgeous and those handles are super cute!!!
I really want to do this now!!
When she bought a whole liter of stain I literally said noooo out loud like she could hear me
I love the desk and the stain literally is perfect, but I do wish she went with different handles. Just my opinion though, I like things looking modern and neutral. 🥰🙃😁
Yeah, maybe just some simple gold handles to tie in to the legs would have been really nice! The wood and the teal don't go super well, IMHO. Still an amazing revamp, though!
yeah she should have gone with gold or dark brassy vintage gold handles
I personally love them!
@@hannahkayee831 same I love those handles too!! I think it goes really well with it
Like the gold and wood matches and the teal colour is poppinggg
@@hannahkayee831 I agree! I think the handles are perfect!
Not very free at all if you have to spend so much on sandpaper, new knobs, vanish, stain, stain remover and paint. But I salute you for saving this piece and for learning so much. Fully support this series! Cannot wait to see more! I have picked up so many new pieces during quarantine. Free stuff on the dang street. Unreal. 100 year old mirror, pristine checkers table with four amazing chairs, early 19th century lions head throne chair, new dresser (free) ... the list is very very long. My Hubs told me his aesthetic is MCM and I said, "If it is free and will fit into the car ,,, that's my aesthetic." Oh and a 2K hand made 9X12' made in Italy rug was the last find ... Rock on Mia!
Oh man, I love videos about flipping furniture! It makes me want to go out any do it myself :) Someone might have mentioned it, but when you are sanding and putting the stain on it, it's better to go with the grain so it's more even and clean!!
The desk turned out amazing. The color at first threw me off (the stain) but when you added the white and the knobs it came together.
the desk turned out perfect!! it matches the room perfectly and i would LOVE to see you reupholster a chair omg
I love the end result!! Never in a million years would’ve picked those drawer pulls, but they really look great.
That turned out so cute! I'm living my dreams of refinishing furniture in this video and learning why I never do it at the same time! Lol
Side note: I'd be intrigued to see the leather pulls on it...I think it would up the chic-factor.
I literally do this for a living and let me just say YES every piece of furniture I flip I wanna keep lol. Y’all did so good though that looks awesome!
Mia is the only youtuber I literally wait for to post videos and then in between videos I rewatch all of her old ones 😂 we stan a positive youtuber ❤️
same here lmao. I really love her and enjoy her videos. I am always waiting for Friday and Sunday because of her videos. LOL
Hi Mia a little tip for you on inserting drawers into cabinets which are abit awkward to go in. Rub a candle along the runners it will go in easily! Love the recycled stuff! 👍
My husband and I have been all about building our own furniture and "balling on a budget" with old furniture we revamp and make beautiful and Early American is my LIFE. My entire house is thoroughly covered in it 🙃 I audibly cheered you on when you bought it 😅 its beautiful on all wood so prepare yourself for being obsessed with putting it on every wood project you do from here on out!
Mia you should definitely do more of these videos. Watching you figuring things out while also saving something that might have gone in the landfill is such a great thing and so entertaining. I can't wait to watch you do the chair. To recover anything can be difficult my grandfather did that for his job and was very good but it took many pieces for him to teach me even a fraction of his knowledge. Don't give up if you run into a problem just keep charging through, like anything the more you do it the more you'll learn.! Best of Luck.
It was dad saying "but do they show these in different grains though" in perfect Canadian for me 😄
Plzplzplz don't stop making furniture flip videos!!! I'm loving em!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. Please keep these coming Mia. You did such a BEAUTIFUL job!!! And we need more inspiration for people making old things usable/new again given a second life!! So much consumerism on UA-cam makes me feel so weird!! We waste so much and throw away so much that it’s so great to see something someone wants to get rid of turned beautiful again!
“ I hate looking like an idiot...but I’m good at it “

It’s gorgeous, you’ve done so well with that. Great work. If we all did this imagine how little waste we’d have. This furniture was built to last, and I love that it’s not ended up in a landfill, and even if you don’t want to keep it, I’m sure someone would absolutely love it.
best comment yet :-)
Mia you should get into house flipping... and make a website to refurbish people’s furniture! I have my parents old dresser in the spare bedroom, bought a sander and now I am here watching for confidence and inspiration.. can’t wait to see how this turns out!!!
At 18mins.. looking good but I was thinking you should have just clear stained the wood after sanding .. but it still looks good!! If you can do it, I can do it!!!
I know this is an old video - but wax will both help the sticking drawers AND put a nice glow on the natural wood tones. Ideally get something like Howard's Feed and Wax, but in a pinch you could rub the sides of the drawers with a candle to make them glide more easily.
